He has worked as an adviser to Andrew Mitchell MP, the former Conservative Chief Whip, and for the British member of the European Commission, Catherine Ashton, as well as for Edward Llewellyn, during his time as chief of staff to Lord Paddy Ashdown, the then-UN High Representative of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Korski is the son of Polish Jewish refugees, who were expelled from Poland in the late 1960s, and grew up in Denmark. He was educated at the London School of Economics, where he gained a first, and at Cambridge University.

He also undertook a secondment to the U.S. State Department under then US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. In between these postings, Korski helped establish and was the deputy head of the cross-departmental Stabilisation Unit.

Before working for the British government, Korski worked in Parliament as a policy adviser to the House of Commons Defence Select Committee. In 2008 Korski helped establish the bi-partisan think tank the European Council on Foreign Relations and has written regularly for The Spectator and has appeared in The Guardian, Süddeutsche Zeitung, New York Times and European Voice.
